We consider the Laplacian in a strip $\mathbb{R}\times (0,d)$ with the boundary condition which is Dirichlet except at the segment of a length $2a$ of one of the boundaries where it is switched to Neumann. This operator is known to have a…

In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet problem of Laplacian on complete Riemannian manifolds. By constructing new trial functions, we obtain a sharp upper bound of the gap of the consecutive eigenvalues in the sense of the order, which…

Characterizations of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a product domain are obtained. When zero Dirichlet, Robin or Neumann boundary conditions are specified on each factor, then the eigenfunctions on the product domain are…

In this paper, we prove that the Extended Courant Property fails to be true for certain smooth, strictly convex domains with Neumann boundary condition: there exists a linear combination of a second and a first Neumann eigenfunctions, with…

We show that any second eigenfunction of the Laplacian with standard vertex conditions on a metric tree graph attains its extremal values only at degree one vertices, and give an example where these vertices do not realise the diameter of…

We establish two new universal inequalities for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a planar convex domain.

This paper is devoted to the spectral analysis of the Neumann realization of the 2D magnetic Laplacian with semiclassical parameter h > 0 in the case when the magnetic field vanishes along a smooth curve which crosses itself inside a…

Recently Rohleder proposed a new variational approach to an inequality between the Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues in the simply connected planar case using the language of classical vector analysis. Writing his approach in terms of…

In this paper, we prove some isoperimetric bounds for lower order eigenvalues of the Wentzell-Laplace operator on bounded domains of a Euclidean space or a Hadamard manifold, of the Laplacian on closed hypersurfaces of a Euclidean space or…

We address the problem of splitting of eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian under singular domain perturbations. We consider a domain perturbed by the excision of a small spherical hole shrinking to an interior point. Our main result…

An inverse problem of finding an obstacle and the boundary condition on its surface from the fixed-energy scattering data is studied. A new method is developed for a proof of the uniqueness results. The method does not use the discreteness…

For a closed Riemannian orbifold $O$, we compare the spectra of the Laplacian, acting on functions or differential forms, to the Neumann spectra of the orbifold with boundary given by a domain $U$ in $O$ whose boundary is a smooth manifold.…
